Frequently asked questions

How is CarWhere's dealer data different from review sites?

CarWhere's dealer data comes from 3,262+ verified buyer deal sheets — not opinions or star ratings. We show actual documentation fees, dealer add-on charges, selling prices, and discounts off MSRP. Every data point is sourced from a real transaction, so you see what buyers actually paid, not what a dealer claims or what an anonymous reviewer says.

What does a dealer transparency score mean?

Each dealer gets a transparency score (A through F) based on three factors: pricing competitiveness (how much they discount off MSRP), fee fairness (doc fees and add-ons relative to state averages), and data depth (how many verified deals we have). An A-grade dealer offers strong discounts, reasonable fees, and has enough data for a reliable profile.

How do I find the cheapest dealer near me?

Use the search above to find dealers by name, city, or brand. Each dealer profile shows their average discount off MSRP and all fees. For the most accurate comparison, browse the dealer's profile page to see pricing by specific model.

What fees do dealers charge beyond the car price?

Beyond the negotiated selling price, dealers typically charge a documentation fee ($150-$700+ depending on the state), and many add dealer-installed accessories like paint protection, nitrogen tire fill, or VIN etching. Some states cap doc fees by law. CarWhere shows the actual fees each dealer charges based on verified buyer deal sheets.
